Airline skewers vlogger over stowaway video they say is 100% fake

Adam Saleh, you cheeky self-proclaimed "professional idiot," you.

The YouTube vlogger's recent video titled "I smuggled myself on a plane to another city and it worked!! (in a suitcase)" has racked up well over 2 million views.

But the airline featured in the video have publicly slammed it silly -- alleging the whole thing is made up, and furthermore, is highly dangerous and inconsistent "with reality."

The 22-year-old American's Tuesday video claims to show him being bundled up inside a suitcase and sent off by his two mates at Tigerair Australia's computerised airport check-in terminal, in Melbourne.

Meanwhile, Saleh is allegedly filming himself, sweaty AF, inside the tiny suitcase as he makes the one-hour journey to Sydney.

The gang next meet their precious human cargo when he comes out of the luggage conveyor belt at Sydney terminal, emerging from his zippered confines victorious.

Needless to say, Tigerair were not impressed -- not least of all because they claim the video is fake, fake, fake. And they say they have the footage to prove it.

The airline wrote a searing open letter to the young internet celebrity, dragging him on a plethora of points.

"There are a few inconsistencies in your production that don't line up with reality," a spokesperson said.

"Anything over 32kg gets rejected and our friendly staff would have stepped in to assist with options, as indeed they did. We have the footage." Ooof, burrrn!

They continued, "It gets pretty cold at 36,000 feet without any heating. Had you been in the baggage hold, by the time you arrived in Sydney you would have been a popsicle.

"Thirdly, we have footage of you boarding the aircraft (using your legs) … Given what you have portrayed could have resulted in serious injury or worse to you and the people around you, we'd suggest you [remove] the video promptly."

Wow. This airline does not mess around and we kind of love it.

Tiger air told Mashable their letter to Saleh has been hidden or removed from the vlogger's social media channels.

"We can confirm that the footage is not genuine and we have requested that the footage be removed as a consequence," they said via email.

"Tigerair Australia has a zero tolerance [policy] for inappropriate behaviour and has investigated this matter as a priority.

Saleh has yet to respond to Mashable's request for comment but we dare say he'll think twice before screwing around with this airline again.

Or maybe not. The boy just lives to prank. Don't change, buddy. Just be safe.
